Château Baret 2022

The elegance of a Pessac-Léognan red wine

The estate

Located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Baret has historic origins. The foundations of the estate date back to the 4th century. For several generations, Château Baret belonged to the Lords of Baret. In 1867, the Ballande family of merchants and shipowners acquired the estate. Over the last twenty years, Château Baret has undergone major renovations and restructuring in both the vineyard and the cellar. From vintage to vintage and following the arrival of a new team in 2015, this historic estate stands out among the finest references in the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
